Hi, does anyone have any experience with the KEMALOCE bibs. I am thinking of buying this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005225331271.html. I am especially curious about the padding material.
A while ago I asked about buying the above bibs. I received them a while ago, and did some rides with them, here are my impressions:
- the material is not very stretchy, especially the upper part.
- the rubber part seems tight and keeps the bibs in place on my legs well.
- the padding is excellent and fairly comfortable even on a few 4+ hour rides.
- the pockets are nice to have, but I don't really see myself using them. Feels like a gimmick to me.
Regarding the first issue, I have to mention I went with size M, and I am 184cm tall and weigh 69kg. I didn't want to size up like I usually do with AliExpress stuff, because I had bad experience with oversized bibs before, but these bibs are really tight on my legs. If I would had gone with size L, it would have been much better, and I probably wouldn't notice the degree to which the material is not stretchy.
I also have a similar style BCBE bibs, but they are too large -- however, they feel like they are made from a higher-quality material, especially the straps.
